Gina Cruz, M.Ed., Ed. Diag., BCCS Owner & Director

Welcome! I'm Gina Cruz. As the owner of the North Central San Antonio LearningRx Brain Training Center, I've been actively involved in the field of cognitive science and training over the past 14 years. I'm the mother of two boys and hold a Master's Degree in Special Education and a certification as an Educational Diagnostician. I'm currently working toward my Ph.D. as an Educational Psychologist. Formerly, I was an elementary, special education and Montessori-certified teacher. Having worked with students of varying learning disabilities, I believe that all people have potential. It is my goal to strengthen the learning of those with learning challenges and give them the tools they need for success. I invite you to come visit our center, I'd be happy to meet with you to see how we can help you or your family member maximize your potential.

I was a Texas State licensed Director for both Montessori Schools and Child Development programs for 15 of those years.

Amber Ivey Brain Trainer

I am a bubbly, warm-hearted person who loves learning and helping children reach their maximum potential. Nothing melts my heart more than seeing a child equipped with the tools to thrive and conquer the world! I enjoy reading, completing puzzles and spending time with my fur baby. I have taught fourth and fifth grade for several years and served as a coach for novice teachers. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and writing, for with a book and a pen, there’s no limit to where you can go! I received a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Texas Lutheran University and plan on furthering my education in the near future.

Christy Paul Brain Trainer

My name is Christy Paul, and I have been at Learning Rx for nearly 2 years! It has been so wonderful to work here. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Abilene Christian University. I enjoy all aspects of training, but especially getting to know my students and encouraging them and helping them to believe in themselves. An interesting fact about me is that I come from a large family. I have two brothers and twelve sisters! I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right. We are the coolest family ever! After all, normal is only a cycle on the washing machine. I am excited to meet your child and work with you to help your child grow and learn!:)
